Are you going to quit MFP or are you going to stay here for maintenance?

I am not sure what I am going to do yet...Hmmm...bit embarrassing, but I think I may miss the place :embarassed:

    I'll stay and pass on whatever knowledge I've gained to those that were in the boat I was in when I first started.

    I'm probbaly going to keep using this to maintain because I'm dreadful when it comes to keeping an eye on what I eat. Before I started using MFP I was taking back 2500~ calories a day - I don't want to go back to that habit. Plus I've become a little obsessed with MFP and theres nothing wrong with counting. I want to get my goal weight and stay there so I'm going to need all the support I can get.

    I will definilty stay! This site is so encouraging and it is an awesome way to reflect daily on your food intake. I love the encouragement and support that I recieve from others who are working towards the same goal as myself. I decided that this is a lifestyle change for me so I have to incorporate as much as I can to get myself going and motivated.

    I'm staying :D I think I've lost all I want to lose, but I'm actually scared to try and maintain without support, and I know I have so much to learn about overall health and nutrition and especially fitness.

    I would miss MFP too much :love:

    Its a nice tool to count your calories with a large database i will definitely use it for more then just weight loss.

    I'm staying, I've basically been on maintenance for the last 3 months. These last couple of pounds are hard to lose...but hey, it's only 2lbs, and in the grand scheme of things that's nothing! I actually enjoy logging my food, it helps me keep on track and ensure I won't gain it back :)

    I'm staying. I've gained and lost so many times that I know if I don't track my food I won't be accountable. I'm a lifer :)

    :bigsmile: I reckon I'll stay. The calorie counter is fab and a useful tool to keep my eye on things. Plus if something starts to go wrong and I start putting on a bit of weight, I'm hoping MFP will help me figure out why (IT'S ALL THOSE CHICKEN WINGS!!!).

    I'm still here! :wink: It's still a daily struggle even though I'm at my "goal" weight. Plus, I have new goals in mind now that I'm shooting for, so MFP helps keep me on track.

    I too am probably going to be here for life. Just because this has been the only thing to help me keep the weight off. :heart:

    I lost a bunch a yr and a half ago and then quit logging in and boom, 15 lbs back on. I will keep up after this!

    I'd definitely stay on for weight maintenance. I didn't know how many calories/day I was consuming, but now I have a rough estimate! Plus it'll help avoid the freshman 15 :)

    I'll be staying. I know that all of the leaders at WW's meetings I had attended in the past continued to journal, even years after they hit their goal. I think logging my food and exercise is the best way for me to stay successful.

    I've just reached goal :happy: I know one thing though....I'm going to carry on logging my food daily & my weight weekly on here - and am gradually increasing cals by 50 a week til I get to maintenance level so as not to shock the body with a massive jump (maintenance 1520 - currently on 1370). There's no way I'm givin' this one up......and I'll def need help maintaining as I normally get very complacent when I get to goal (which I've done many a time but not on MFP) :embarassed: . Definitely not ready to give up my security blanket for a long time yet......:laugh:

    Good luck!!! :flowerforyou:

    I'll stay for a bit, until I feel like I have outgrown it.

    I am definitely going to stay - even though I am still about 10-15 lbs. from goal, this is now my lifestyle and I will be here as long as this site is here. Love all my MFP friends and everyone that posts. Best of luck everyone!!
